Road Trip

Once the world reopened after the pandemic, I eagerly set out to explore again. What started as a short road trip through Europe quickly grew beyond anything I’d expected. So far, I’ve covered over 104,000 miles across 107 countries. Now, I’m in Asia, making my way toward Australia ...and hopefully beyond.

My journey began in Augsburg, Germany, my hometown. From there, I explored most countries in Europe, spending over two years immersed in the continent’s diverse cultures and landscapes. To support my travels, I work remotely, carrying all my equipment with me. Many times, I take breaks to focus on work, allowing me to continue my journey while maintaining my career.

After Europe, I ventured into Africa, driving along the west coast all the way down to the continent’s southernmost point in South Africa. Along the way, I teamed up with Theresa to visit iconic national parks like Etosha and Chobe, where we explored incredible wildlife. From there, I traveled up to Kenya, but due to the ongoing civil war in Sudan, I decided to ship my car to Oman to continue the adventure.

My time in the Middle East was brief, lasting just about six weeks. I shipped my car in a container from Mombasa, Kenya, to Salalah, Oman. From there, I traveled through countries like the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and more, exploring the diverse cultures and landscapes of the region.

My journey through Asia began in Turkmenistan and took me across Central Asia and Russia to Mongolia, where I spent two months working and preparing for the next leg of the trip. From there, I completed an incredible overland drive through China into Nepal, then continued through India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and western China once more. I’m now continuing my travels across Southeast Asia, aiming ultimately for Australia.

Fun Facts

I explored 107 countries on this journey, plus 30 unique territories recognized by the Travelers’ Century Club.

I crossed 108 borders, with some crossings taking as long as 4 to 6 hours. Altogether, I spent about 270 hours on immigration and customs paperwork, which is equivalent to 34 full workdays.

The total distance of the road trip is 104,000 miles. That's equivalent to circling the Earth 4.2 times or covering 43% of the distance to the Moon.

The longest continuous drive was from Kigali, Rwanda, to Nairobi, Kenya, where I drove for 30 hours straight, covering 700 miles.

Gas prices vary greatly. I filled up for as little as €0.19 per gallon in Iran and as much as €8.97 in Norway.

In total, I spent more than €15,000 for 3,340 gallons of gas, with an average cost of €144 per 1000 miles driven.

I went on a total of 67 ferry crossings, covering more than 11,700 miles at sea.
